New Cumberland Public Library

Parents and caregivers are the first education providers during the 0-5 early critical years. The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge is a simple: read a book, any book to your child, with the goal of reading 1,000 before kindergarten. Register at newcumberlandlibrary.beanstack.org/reader365 and start entering your books. It’s that simple!

Come visit the small-town library that combines an excellent basic collection of books, DVDs, audiobooks, and music CDs with an experienced, friendly staff. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building, and we sponsor a wide variety of programs for all ages.
